In Saxony, dozens of AfD supporters who own weapons are currently being checked for their reliability. This is according to an answer from the Ministry of the Interior to a minor question from Left Party politician Juliane Nagel.
Following the legally binding classification of the AfD state association as a proven right-wing extremist movement, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution reported 71 AfD members to the weapons authorities. They are to assess the reliability of the persons concerned in terms of firearms law.
According to the Ministry of the Interior, 69 investigation procedures have been initiated to date. There have been complaints in two cases. Most of the checks are still ongoing.
